Here's a python version of your program (excluding exporting results to CSV files). I got similar results as above.

import time

import math

import itertools

def analyze_combinations():

start_time = time.time()

total_combinations = 0

# Even odd counts: keys 0 5

even_count = {i: 0 for i in range(6)}

# Range stats

range_stats = {

Sum : 0,

Count : 0,

Min : None,

Max : None,

Buckets : {}

}

# Spacing stats

spacing_stats = {

Sum : 0.0,

no as my pc crashed as running 11 million combinations it take significant time and my computer's processing power and didnt have enough memory available for my pc run my script

I wrote mine in Visual Basic.

Did you get the same results

It's not a system. There is no reliable system for predicting numbers that are randomly drawn with replacement. It doesn't matter if 12-23-35-47-58 gets chosen or not, as all the numbered balls are put back in the hopper after every drawing.

The same happens with live keno, where the casino picks 20 numbers out of 80, then dumps the balls back in the hopper for the next drawing.

An RNG game is, in theory, the same thing, but it is not as much fun.

Let's assume that one day these numbers (12-23-35-47-58) hit, either winning the second prize or the jackpot.

Will the system reset to produce a different set of numbers going into the future

is this like your program

This script performs a comprehensive analysis of all possible 5-number combinations from 1-69, which is 11,238,513 combinations. It measures:

Even/Odd Distribution : How many combinations have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 even numbers Range Analysis : The difference between highest and lowest number in each combination Spacing Metrics : The gaps between consecutive numbers and their averages Smallest Number Statistics : Distribution and average of the smallest number in...

As you can see, the least likely outcome is all even numbers at 2.48%.

So about 7 million times as likely as any single combination that could win the jackpot? So what are you going to do with it

In this thread I will discuss a few statistics for Powerball drawing numbers -- not the past drawings, but the probability of various results for any future drawing.

I am only dealing with the five white balls from 1 to 69, not the Powerball. The Powerball number is a different range, 1 to 26, and is drawn from a different ballset.

There are 11,238,513 different ways to draw 5 numbers from 1 to 69 without replacement. I wrote a computer program to go through all those combinations to mea... [ More ]
